Our program begins with children’s self-structured play in our indoor classroom. Here, children collaborate with peers and teachers, initiate their own projects, and spend time in a community rich with possibilities. Our indoor classroom features a large block building area, cozy room for chatting, reading books and doing puzzles, art area, and two rooms dedicated to socio-dramatic play. After cleanup time, we transition to story and music. Here, we gather in the living room to sing, talk about our interests, and read together. Older children stay at story time a bit longer to discuss more advanced topics. After story and music time, we head outside for snack. We gather in our main courtyard on picnic blankets to eat and chat together. Following snack, we then explore our outdoor classroom and activity centers. Our outdoor classroom features a full art studio, woodworking and craft center, a large 25 foot by 25 foot sand area, a large mud area, various climbing structures, a bike area, and various changing activity centers. During the week we have time for music, yoga, cooking, building, and an intensive approach to arts. Our extraordinary 1 to 4 ratio of teachers to children allow us to provided detailed observation, reflection, and design curriculum to fit each children’s unique needs. After outdoor classroom time, we then eat lunch together in the main courtyard. After lunch we head back inside for quiet reading time and then nap. When children have rested, we get back up and go outside for free play and pick-up.
